New tank taste

[Noraj1067]

So I've figured out that my new nautilus tank has this very potent and strange chemical taste no matter what juice is in it. I've soaked it in hot water twice and it's still funky. What do I do? I've read that motor oil from making it can cause this? Has anyone experienced this? I'm going crazy only having one tank at work and this tank is unvapable no matter what juice I try

Have you cleaned it with alcohol or Dawn Dish soap and hot water?

Water by itself will not clean it...you need to degrease it and then rinse thoroughly with hot water.

I had that problem with mine. I soaked it for several hours in warm water with dish soap, then rinsed it with clean water and let it air dry, and the chemical taste was still sort of there. I was upset, too, thinking that it was just somehow a taste that the coil had and that I wouldn't be able to use the tank. I ended up going to the shop where I bought it, and they were pretty sure that it was a bad coil. I got a new 1.8 coil, and have been using it for several days now with no chemical taste at all. So, I'm guessing that you should probably switch out your coil and that might help.

I do know if your Nautilus came with BDC coils, they taste pretty bad. That was my experience anyway.

probably just a bad coil.

my bdc's tasted amazing. couldnt use them that long though cause the tank constantly leaked

They're bvc coils. I'm going too soak it and switch coils and see what happens

 

[GinnyTx]

never had that issues, they're right ...seek another coil.

I have been thinking about getting some denture cleaner to soak my tanks. Haven't had your issue, but people have used it with success.

I had one that tasted kinda bad but after a few fills it was better but that was only once. I would try another coil.

 

[Noraj1067]

I keep soaking it I'm soapy water and I can't get the awful smell out. I threw the coil out. ...? Anyone with ideas shoot them at me. I'm so upset. I just bought the tank and it was 35 bucks !

Try vodka, I use that to clean my coils and it takes almost any taste out. Soak in vodka for a couple hours to overnight, then let air dry and dry burn before filling.
